Mortal Beginner, Scientific Cultivation, Dream World, System Infinity.
As everyone knew, there were thirteen provinces in the State of Yue.
Lan Province was the eighth largest state capital. It was located in the southern part of the State of Yue. The land was fertile and there were waterways that extended in all directions. In an agricultural society, water transport was naturally faster and more convenient than land transport. The labor cost was lower. In addition, the weather here had always been good, making it extremely suitable for planting grain and rice. Therefore, the farmers and merchants were first-class and prosperous.
With the Xianglu Grand Canal that ran through the north and south of Yue Country as its back, Jia Yuan City was the largest city in Lan Province even though it wasn't the prefecture capital.
In front of the inconspicuous small dock, a small boat with flat leaves slowly approached.
This dock was dilapidated and small, and its location was very remote. There was no one guarding the shore, and it had been abandoned for a period of time.
However, no matter how prosperous Jiayuan was, it was impossible for there to be no countryside, suburbs, and wilderness...
After the small boat stopped at the wharf, an ordinary-looking young man who looked 13 or 14 years old got off,
According to common sense, at this age, his parents and elders would most likely not let him travel alone.
However, not long ago, something big happened to his family, and all three of them died. Fortunately, a soul from another world crossed over and fused with this body.
--------
More than ten days ago, Zhou Dayong, the shopkeeper of the Treasure Pavilion in a market, and his cultivation partner had failed to get away with a gang fight outside the market. Instead, they were beaten and killed. They could only shout in horror,"Foundation Establishment Cultivator!!"
Not long after, Zhou Ming, who had crossed over, fused into his 13-year-old son's body and was reborn!
After digesting the memory fragments of his predecessor, Zhou Ming immediately understood the cause and effect. Zhou Da Yong, the father of Zhou who was at the tenth level of Qi Refinement, was a cultivator with pseudo-spiritual roots. If there were no accidents, he would have no hope of building his foundation in this life.
The materials needed to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill were already scarce in Yue Country, and the pills were controlled by the famous sects. It was basically difficult for wild cultivators to see them, and the chances of a pill with inferior spiritual roots successfully reaching Foundation Establishment were pitifully small. Now that they saw an "opportunity", they naturally tried their best to fight for it!
Zhou Ming was too lazy to defend his father.
The truth was that Zhou Da Yong in Zhen Bao Pavilion saw that the customer was very forthright and that his cultivation was only at the eighth level of Qi Refinement. He judged him to be a "fat sheep" in his heart and secretly followed him, planning to "kill the sheep and eat the meat" when he left the market…
The idea was very good, but the result was all wrong. The little fat sheep in his heart had transformed into a genuine Foundation Establishment senior.
The result was self-evident. This Foundation Building cultivator had killed Zhou Da Yong and his partner in the suburbs, and then swaggered back. First, he controlled the child who stayed to watch the shop, activated the shop protection array, and then destroyed the soul of his predecessor. He took the wealth in the shop and quietly left...
As expected of the cultivation world, the bloody darkness was vividly displayed!
Zhou Ming's eyes were half-closed as he complained weakly. Although his legs were trembling slightly, he stood even straighter.
Ding!
A panel that only Zhou Ming could see suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Phew ~ Fortunately, the golden finger has arrived."
Zhou Ming took a deep breath to calm himself down.
Sweeping a glance at the situation in the shop, the magic tools, talismans, and pills that were originally placed on the counter had all disappeared. Only a few common ancient books were left in the cultivation technique section. As they were common goods, the Foundation Establishment cultivators probably couldn't be bothered to look at them and left them where they were.
--------
The morning sun gradually became hotter. Zhou Ming looked at the dilapidated small dock in front of him. He had been worried for more than ten days and finally relaxed.
The dock was made of simple wooden planks. Not only was the place small and simple, but there were also piles of broken baskets and bags everywhere in the east and west corners. It was extremely dirty. The only bamboo shed that was built on the dock had fallen due to years of disrepair.
"F * ck, it seems that even the most prosperous city still has some hidden places!"
After more than ten days of intense travel, Zhou Ming finally came to an end.
"Enter the city!"
He walked along the path in front of him.
After crossing a few hills and a few mud pits, they slowly got onto the main road...
"Jia Yuan City currently has three big gangs with more than 10,000 people, seven or eight medium-sized gangs with 2,000 to 3,000 people, and 40 to 50 small gangs with a few hundred people."
The one who spoke was the coachman, Xiao Ma, who was pulling the carriage. He was a strong young man in his twenties and came from a poor background.
According to him, it had been five or six years since he came out of the village. Two years ago, he joined the Vajra Sect, a medium-sized sect, and received a secret manual for tempering his qi and blood. Therefore, his body was considered strong. However, because he did not like fighting, he did a job pulling a carriage for others.
"The three major gangs in Jia Yuan City are Brotherhood Alliance, Fearsome Flood Dragon Guild, and Heaven Domination Sect. The smaller gangs are Iron Spear Guild, Sworn Guild, Green Robes Gang, Spring Rain House, Golden Sword Sect, Blue River Boat Gang, Vajra Sect, Sunset Sect, and so on."
Xiao Ma said all the names of these gangs in one breath. Then, he took a breath and continued.
"Right now, Jia Yuan City can be said to have four factions. Heaven Domination Sect is the strongest among the three factions. They have joined forces with Golden Sword Sect and Green Robes Sect to occupy the most prosperous and wealthy Dongcheng Area. Brotherhood Alliance is slightly weaker. They have joined forces with Iron Spear Association, Blue River Boat Gang, and the Pledge Society to occupy the northern district. Fearsome Dragon Association is currently the weakest. They have joined forces with Spring Rain Tower, Vajra Sect, and Sunset Sect to occupy the southern district. The last remaining Xicheng District is a relatively chaotic slum area, divided up by many small gangs. Although these small gangs fight fiercely with each other, once other large factions want to invade the Xicheng District, they will immediately stop fighting and turn to the outside world."
The coachman was indeed like the brother on the blue planet. Each of them was eloquent. Although Little Ma had an honest face, he was also eloquent. He quickly explained the situation of each force.
Jiayuan's three major sects were still around, and the Fearsome Flood Dragon Association had already gone from being one of the three overlords of the Lan State to being the weakest of the three major sects. The originally blurry timeline suddenly became much clearer. Old Demon Han had yet to arrive, which was good news…
After Zhou Ming heard these words, he pondered for a while and then asked,"
"Isn't the Fearsome Flood Dragon Association one of the three overlords of the Lan Province? And Jia Yuan City is its headquarters, how did it become the weakest of the three gangs?"
"Little Lord, what you're talking about is the old history!"
"A few years ago, the Fearsome Flood Dragon Association's development was indeed very fierce. Their influence spread across almost the entire Lan Province. At that time, the Fearsome Flood Dragon Association was one of the super forces.
Its headquarters, Jia Yuan City, would definitely not allow other gangs to interfere. Therefore, the Fearsome Flood Dragon Association occupied the entire Urban area at that time and was the only one in the city."
